   Episode 029 | California: Dreams, Dread, & the Golden Coast

   This is Static Hour. A late-night broadcast of strange and unsettling stories from the darkest corners of the internet. Episode 029 — California: Dreams, Dread & the Golden Coast — Pt. 1 Stories they don’t put on the postcards. 🎧 Listen with headphones for the full experience. California. Most people think of beaches, Hollywood, and endless sunshine. But there’s another side to the Golden State. Miles of empty desert highways, forests that stretch farther than you can see, and little towns tucked away from everything. And sometimes, it’s not what’s hiding out in the wilderness that you need to worry about. Sometimes it’s the stranger standing a little too close to your car, the person walking down a highway in the middle of nowhere, or something you saw that you just can’t explain. Tonight, we’re heading to California, where unsettling encounters, strange sightings, and unexplained experiences remind us that there’s more to the Golden State than meets the eye. From a frightening encounter outside a workout studio to a mysterious girl wandering the streets of Porterville, strange things on a deserted desert highway, and a haunted hotel with a tragic history, these stories explore the darker side of a place known for its sunshine. And if you thought California’s roads and wilderness were unsettling, just wait until we check into the Hotel del Coronado. This is only our first trip through the Golden State. And apparently, California has a few dark secrets of its own. Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains stalking, threatening strangers, potentially dangerous encounters, unsettling paranormal experiences, and unexplained disappearances. ⸻ 🕯️ STORIES FEATURED “California is just…” Mermaidgoddess24 — r/creepyencounters https://www.reddit.com/r/creepyencounters/comments/kli0i6/california_is_just/ “Weird experience in California years ago” Norinzoba — r/Paranormal https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/s7y2yh/weird_experience_in_california_years_ago/ “California and Nevada Stories” KatiaSwift — r/BackwoodsCreepy https://www.reddit.com/r/BackwoodsCreepy/comments/1j8kyr7/california_nevada_stories/ “Journal of a Bellhop at the Hotel del Coronado” Brittni — Static Hour Original “My childhood ghost story in rural California” LincolnShootsFuji — r/Ghosts https://www.reddit.com/r/Ghosts/comments/1hmq2dj/my_childhood_ghost_story_in_rural_california/ “Creepy roadside person in Central/Northern California” SignificantPomelo — r/skinwalkers https://www.reddit.com/r/skinwalkers/comments/ub94pa/creepy_roadside_person_in_centralnorthern/ “Three of us saw a man, a dog, and a car disappear at a Northern California rest stop” green_queen27 — r/BackwoodsCreepy https://www.reddit.com/r/BackwoodsCreepy/comments/1q9rcre/three_of_us_saw_a_man_a_dog_and_a_car_disappear/ ⸻ 🎙️ CREDITS Producer, Host & Narrator: Bri Co-Producer, Host & Narrator: Brittni Audio Engineer: Shawn Intro Music: Static Hour Podcast Intro by DJZone ⸻ 📡 TRANSMIT YOUR STORY Have a strange encounter, an unexplained experience, or a story that still keeps you up at night?

   Episode 028 | All Tricks No Treats

   This is Static Hour. A late-night broadcast of strange and unsettling stories from the darkest corners of the internet. Episode 028 — All Tricks, No Treats Beware Who Comes Knocking. 🎧 Listen with headphones for the full experience. Halloween is the one night a year when we invite fear to our doorsteps. We dress like monsters, wander through the dark, and open our doors to strangers, trusting that the things that frighten us are only costumes and stories. But what happens when the stranger at your door isn’t there for candy? When a familiar Halloween tradition turns into something sinister? Or when the thing hiding behind a mask isn’t pretending to be a monster at all? Tonight, we’re bringing you a collection of Halloween encounters that blur the line between a harmless fright and something far more disturbing. From suspicious strangers and unwanted visitors to cursed costumes, things lurking in the woods, and horrors hiding closer to home, these stories might make you think twice before answering the door. So turn down the lights, settle in, and remember: not everything that comes knocking deserves to be let inside. Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains stalking, threatening strangers, attempted abduction, home and business intrusion, being chased, supernatural horror, disturbing imagery, violence, and situations involving children in danger. ⸻ 🕯️ STORIES FEATURED “I worked at a Halloween store that sells Cursed Costumes” Author deleted — r/scarystories https://www.reddit.com/r/scarystories/comments/1fqk314/i_worked_at_a_halloween_store_that_sells_cursed/ “Halloween Fright: Two guys in a white van stalk teenagers out trick or treating” Animevet08 — r/creepyencounters https://www.reddit.com/r/creepyencounters/comments/5anciu/halloween_fright_two_guys_in_a_white_van_stalk/ “Clown in the woods?” simple0nes — r/LetsNotMeet https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/17jk7z2/clown_in_the_woods/ “This happened last night (Halloween)- I know, cliche but it’s true” MeMikeWis — r/scarystories https://www.reddit.com/r/scarystories/comments/17lrrts/this_happened_last_night_halloween_i_know_cliche/ “Halloween Prank ends with our family moving away” DanteC1231 — r/scarystories https://www.reddit.com/r/scarystories/comments/dwfi7u/halloween-prank-ends-with-our-family-moving-away/ “Why we don’t do Halloween anymore” decorativegentleman — r/shortscarystories https://www.reddit.com/r/shortscarystories/comments/1ggd8ty/why_we_dont_do_halloween_anymore/ “Remember the roots” Slaughterpunk — Nightscribe https://nightscribe.co/s/83709/remember-the-roots ⸻ 🎙️ CREDITS Producer & Host: Bri Co-Producer, Editor: Brittni Audio Engineer: Shawn Intro Music: Static Hour Podcast Intro by DJZone ⸻ 📡 TRANSMIT YOUR STORY Have a strange encounter, an unexplained experience, or a story that still keeps you up at night?

   Episode 027 | The Night Shift

   This is Static Hour. A late-night broadcast of strange and unsettling stories from the darkest corners of the internet. Episode 027 — The Night Shift The living aren’t the only ones awake tonight. 🎧 Listen with headphones for the full experience. Hospitals never truly sleep. Even in the quietest hours of the night, there are patients who need care, staff moving through empty hallways, and machines keeping watch over the people who need them most. But what happens when the voices you hear have no explanation? When patients describe figures no one else can see? Or when the strange things happening on a hospital ward become impossible to dismiss? Tonight, we’re stepping into the night shift with nurses, hospital workers, patients, and first responders who have experienced things they still can’t explain. Some encounters are unsettling. Some are heartbreaking. And some remind us that reality can be just as disturbing as anything paranormal. Because when the lights dim and the hallways fall silent, you might not be as alone as you think. Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains discussions of terminal illness, patient death, child death and drowning, dementia and altered mental states, medical trauma, decomposition, blood, human remains, and disturbing medical and emergency situations. ⸻ 🕯️ STORIES FEATURED Nurses of Reddit: Creepiest Night Shift Experiences UtahUnicorn — r/Paranormal https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/comments/1wsowwa/nurses-of-reddit-what-are-your-creepiest-night/ Nurses of Reddit: Creepiest Night Shift Experiences FourthLvlSpicyMeme — r/Paranormal Nurses of Reddit: Creepiest Night Shift Experiences Ghost_of_a_Black_Cat — r/Paranormal Nurses, Doctors, Hospital Workers of Reddit: What’s your creepiest experience in a hospital?
